Sheet Molding Compound

Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a ready-made material used to create strong, lightweight, and durable parts through molding processes. It consists of a plastic resin, fibers (like fiberglass), fillers, and other additives, all pressed into a sheet. Manufacturers cut and place these sheets into molds, then use heat and pressure to shape them into various products such as automotive panels, electrical enclosures, and appliances. SMC offers benefits like high strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of manufacturing, making it a popular choice in industries requiring reliable and complex parts.
